Saona Island Cruise
Description
Did you know that some filming for Pirates of the Caribbean took place on Saona Island? Explore this paradise on a catamaran day trip and immerse yourself in its stunning beaches.
Tour Overview
At the scheduled time, we will collect you from your hotel and transfer you to Bayahibe port, where a catamaran will be ready for our adventure. Onboard, we will sail across the brilliant Caribbean Sea.
En route to Saona Island, we'll take a break at a natural pool nestled in the open water. Here, a beautiful sandbank awaits, allowing you to take a refreshing dip and, if fortune smiles, spot a starfish. Following our swim, we will resume our journey accompanied by vibrant Dominican music. You can also enjoy a selection of drinks to savor the Caribbean spirit.
Upon our arrival at Saona Island, you will have leisure time to bask in the Dominican sun from a hammock, wander along the powdery white sands, or splash about in the refreshing waves. It’s a spot you’ll want to linger in! Around midday, we’ll fuel up with a buffet lunch served on the beach, showcasing the local culinary delights.
The excursion will conclude back at the starting location after approximately 8 hours.

What to Bring?
We recommend you bring comfortable clothing, a swimming costume, a towel, sun cream, a camera, sunglasses, insect repellent, and cash for souvenirs.
Additional Info
Please note that starfish are in the wild, therefore it's not guaranteed that we'll see them.
Sometimes the sea can be quite choppy and since we'll be traveling in a speedboat, the ride can be pretty bumpy at times. For this reason, the activity is not recommended for people with back or neck problems. In any case, all seats have backrests and, if you sit in the back of the boat, it'll be a bit smoother.
If you're going to do the excursion with children, on the day of the activity it´s likely that we´ll ask you for a document proving their age, so they should bring either their passport or a photo of it.
Open Bar
This activity includes an open bar onboard with the following drinks: water, two types of soft drinks and rum.
